I'm using the following jquery plugin for selecting multiple options in my select control: jquery multiselect
How can I achieve nested <option>
here? I know it's possible because the rendered html uses <li>
tags
The case is that I want to have the similar result in my combobox:
[ ] England
[ ] London
[ ] Leeds
[ ] Manchaster
Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this kind of solution. Any help would be apprieciate.
With jQuery, you can use the . val() method to get an array of the selected values on a multi-select dropdown list.
jQuery MultiSelect With Select All Option: The following code adds select all text to options list in multiselect dropdown. It allows to check/uncheck all options at once. $('#langOpt'). multiselect({ columns: 1, placeholder: 'Select Languages', search: true, selectAll: true });
Assuming i understand what you want you can do this using optgroup
.
Check out this jsFiddle Demonstration i have created for you.
<select multiple="multiple" size="5">
<optgroup label="England">
<option value="London">London</option>
<option value="Leeds">Leeds</option>
<option value="option3">Manchaster</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="USA">
<option value="option4">New York</option>
<option value="option5">Chicago</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
I have created a jsFiddle Demonstration.

niao: yes, that's what I need. I will have to add some css to make it looks pretty. You can append your answer and I will be more than happy to accept it
You can see the result in this jSFiddle.
I encourage you to download the resources (javascript and css files) to put that on your enviroment.
